This was around 3 years back. I was practicing trade law and was approached by someone to have myself nominated for best upcoming lawyer in IP law. I have NEVER practiced IP law in my whole career. So you can imagine how bogus all of this is.
Move aside Emmys, Grammys and EGOT-aspirants.

To educate and inform, please use this thread to expose how much each award costs. The next time you see a beaming partner bestowed with endless platitudes on LinkedIn, you will know exactly how much they paid to call themselves a fantastic lawyer.
I’ll kick off.
